TJARK IHMELS
June 13, 2026 – July 18, 2026
TODAY WE SPEAK HOLY
Galerie Greulich
Starting today, we speak with reverence. – Under this title, Tjark Ihmels will be exhibiting new works at Galerie Greulich from June 13 to July 18, 2026. The opening will take place on June 12 as part of the GalerienFrankfurtMitte opening night tour.
For years, Himels has been exploring questions of identity, self-image, and perception. His figures seem to be in a state of transition. The new paintings depict blurred boundaries between figure, space, and reflection. People appear and disappear at the same time. The surroundings are like a memory. Landscapes and Mediterranean locations flicker into view like fragments of a dream. His paintings are not clear-cut; instead, they leave questions open.
The title playfully subverts art history’s cult of genius, yet at the same time conveys a serious message: the sacred as that which cannot be fully explained or captured. While digital images flash by quickly, his artworks are like a slowing down of time. They demand attention, create tension, and generate a pull that extends beyond the moment. die Galerie has been collaborating die Galerie the artist since 2009.
Tjark Ihmels is an artist who has remained committed to the big questions of identity and perception for years, constantly giving them new form.
The exhibition opening is on Friday, June 12, 2026, at 6 p.m.
